Tmt Fnodi residents of New York have Appointed a numerous committeo to solicit Inscriptions among the Franoo-American population of the United Btatee for thr oom- lletion of the coloaeal statue of Liberty.... A *ian named 8am Bennere, who is believed to Itave been connected with the disappearance of gttle Charley Roes, was arrested the Jther day in Philadelphia. At first Benners enied all knowledge of Charley Ross. He Iras given another hearing by the authorities, find this time he confessed that he knew all ibout the missing boy ; that he was in Pennsyl- *#ania, and bad never been out of it; that he Was not many miles from the city, and that he {Benners) had seen him about three weeks •previously. Benners is still in custody, but he will not tell where the boy is. ' THE wife of Ira Baker (colored), residing at Glen Lock, Pa., last week murdered her three little children, the eldest aged 6 years, by beating them over the head with a club, and attempted to kill her babe by smothering it under a feather-bed. The woman is insane. A CHINAMAN named Quimbo Appo staDbed "«nd instantly killed an Irishman named John Kelly, m the Home Lodging-Honse, in Chat- bam street, New' York, a few nights ago. -Kelly was the aggressor, and provoked the Chinaman to a fight, in which he waa getting the worst of it, when he drew a knife and •tabbed Kelly. Appo was arrested. He has recently been released after serving out a fif­ teen years' sentence for killing hia wife and 'two men.. .A schooner was boarded by nine ruffians in Long Island Sound, only a few •dies from New York, on Friday night of last Week, everything worth carrying away was ap­ propriated, and the£freebootere escaped un­ fa irmed. A PHILADELPHIA dispatch states that "the Park Commissioners held a meeting held on Honday to decide as to whether the Main build­ ing should oe permitted to remain perma­ nently in its position. After discussion, a reso­ lution was adopted authorizing associations of citizens to take possession of the Main building and t mploy it for the purpose of a permanent exhibition, lunch satisfaction is felt at the final decision to retain the building on tbe grounds." THROUGH some mistake in running a Cen­ tennial train, divided into sections, on the New York Midland railroad, last week, section three ran into No. 2, near Middletown, N. Y., and the result was one passenger killed, six serious­ ly wounded, and a number slightly. The en­ gine and one pa-senger car were wrecked, and two passenger cars were thrown down an em- faankment sixty feet high. Fifteen hundred pessengers were on the train Thomas Ellis, a paying-teller of the Park National Bank, of Hew York, has absconded, taking $66,000 of tbe bark's funds. A. SERIOUS disaster occurred on the New Jersey Central railroad, near Somerville, N. J., last week, by which three passengers were killed, five others seriously wounded, and nine slightly. The accident was caused by a misplaced switch, which had been turned to throw the train off the track, and slugged with a stick, and the switchboard was iturned to show the green light, " all right," and chocked firmly in place The Continent­ al Life Insurance Company, of New York, has suspended, and its affairs have been placed in tbe hands of a receiver. THK WEST. A MA* named Kavanagh, who lately returned to St. Paul from the Black Hills, thinks about half those in that region reported killed by the tdians are killed by whites, and the miners a in more danger from robbers then from •Iguiar scalp-takers. THE State Auditor of Minnesota, who lately returned to St. Paul from a visit to Otter Tail, Pope, Douglas and Swift counties, reports the people of those counties generally in straitened circumstances from continual ravages of the grasshoppers. Only enough wheat is left for oread and seed, though many, are obliged to •ell to meet pressing necessities. But, after all, the settlers are not despairing. Thev are plowing and harrowing to turn up and break tbe eggs and cocoons, saving the grass to burn next spring after the hoppers have hatched and are making new breaking A Bismarck dispatch states that "Gen. Sturgis, with eight companies of cavalry, three of in­ fantry, and a section of artillery, moved south, on the east side of the Missouri river, on the 90th of October. Gen. Terry, with four com­ panies, on the same day, moved south on the west side. Nobody knows where thev are .going." SITTING BUXX, the hero of the Little Big Horn annihilation, has grown aweary, and wants to go home, as he still has the assurance to call the Fort Peck Agency. This noble sav­ age has made known his desires to the Ageut at Fort Peek, and the latter has hastened to carry the news to the Indian Bureau. Thin bureau, with all its faults, is not so neglectful of its functions as to forget the debt it owes : to Sittiny Bel!. The Agent will, therefore, in­ form the applicant for winter quarters that he and his band can come in, but that, owing to the eccentricities of civilized usage, he will be required to surrender as a prisoner of war, to be dealt with aB the Government shall think proper The snow has fallen in the moun­ tains in the neighborhood of Salt Lake, Utah, within the past few days to the depth of from one to three feet. A SHOCKING accident, resulting in the drown­ ing of five persons, cocurred at East Saginaw, Mich., a few days ago. Charles Bluhm, Fred Smith, John Smith, Herman Knapp, John Cas- •ow and a boy named Theodore Peters, mill toborers. were crossing the river to their work to the Litchfield mill. They were in a flafe- Doctomed, small boat, the cross-board framing being nst quite as high as the tug-lining. A barge came along and raised some swell. The •mail boat was only about twenty or thirty feet from shore, but when the boat began shipping men becaDQe panic-stricken and all 5 cif toward the bow of the boat, immediate­ ly filling it. Instead of clinging to the beet, tbey clung to each other, except the boy Peters, who swam ashore. He seized a long board and shoved it out to the ferry boy, who waa nearest shore. The latter was inst •inking the third time, butPeters got the towd nnder his arm and thus pulled him ashore. The other five men were drowned. All were Germans and men of family A CHEYENNE dispatch says that "Gen. Crook, being satisfied that Red Cloud's and Bed Leaf's bands of Sioux were about to de­ part, with a view of joining the hoetiles in the north, they having refused to comply with the orders to come into the agency to receive ra­ tions, determined on disarming them at day­ light on the morning of the 23d in­ stant. Gen. McKenzie, with eight com­ panies of the Fourth Cavalry, successfully surrounded these two bauds, consisting of 3oo lodges, and captured the bucks, squaws and ponies without firing a shot, and they were starched into the agency, after having been disarmed and dismounted." Chicago «]eva­ dors, as per official figures, oontain 2,345.470 bushels of wheat; 2,007,075 bushels of corn- $42,523 bushels of oats; 177,810 bushels of rye.' •nd 930,480 bushels of barley, making a crrapd total of 6,1(3,358 bushels, against 3,195,133 bushels at this period last year. A DISPATCH from Cheyenne says " the arri­ val of Gen. Merritt's ccmmand at Bed Cloud yesterday signalized the closing ap of the Big Bern and Yellowstone campaign, which will *>e • lcceeded by the Powder river expedition, Consisting of fifteen companies of infantry &uu •laven companies of cavajry, the latter princi­ pal/ of the Fourth Regiment, with a few oc m - panies of the Second and Third which have not been in the summer campaign. All are frtsh troops and will be commanded by Gen. Crcok in person. The Fifth Cavalry wili have its winter headquarters at Fort Kimsfll, Gen. Merritt in command. The Third goes to Fort Laramie. Ten com­ panies will remain at Red Cloud.".... A Salt Lake dispatch of Oct. 25 says: "This " ning, the ten days having expired which been allowed Brigham Young in which to alimony to Ann Eliza, his nineteenth and it not having been paid, Brigham ed in court lx>foie Judge Shaeffer, who _ed that A. K. Smith be appointed a :ial Commissioner without bonds, and or- to seize property, sell the same,^ and pay the ,sum required, with costs.".... A honible tragedy was enacted last week near RuBhville, Ind. Chadwick B. Brittain, a young man from Paris, Kv.. had married the only daughter of John R. Rhodes, a farmer, and, after living peaceably with the old people nearly & ve&r, finally demanded possession of the farm, and uroa their refusal, he became abusive and intemperate, and was ordered to WTTA A »r> jiitorostion with the old lady he shot her dead. Mr. Rhodes, hearing tbe i-hot, hastened to the house, and was fired at, but the pistol missed ire. * POLITICAL.

THE presentation of the magnificent address from Ireland to President Grant, through Messrs. O'Connor Power and Parnell, members of Parliament, has been deferred. It seems that, according to etiquette, the resolution's will have to come through the Britieh Minister at Washington, to the President. An obstacle has been fouud to the success of the first step in the wording of certain parts of the resolu­ tions. One put cites that, " having suffered through seven centuries of tyranny, the Irish people make their greetings to the,United States and its President, etc." This cannot, it is contended, be passed by without an act of disrespect on the part of President Grant to Her Majesty's representative. The resolutions are magnificent evidences of art and taste, ap­ pearing like a plate of the purest alabaster, in­ laid with mosaic. They are at present in one of thej-ooms at the White House. M^ O'CONNEB POWEB and Mr. Parnell, who were entrusted with the Irish Centennial ad­ dress, have resolved not to present it formally to President Grant, inasmuch as the State De­ partment insisted upon its being presented through the British Minister Elmer Wash- barn, Chief the Treasury Secret Service, has been requested to resign. UENEKAL. THE Society of the Axruy of the Tennessee, at their recent annual meeting in Washington, elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Gen. Sherman ; Vice Presi­ dents, Gens. Logan, Cole, Woodworth, M. D , Maj. Powell, Gen. W. T. Clark, Col. Know, Capt. Gill, tUapt. Steel, L. T. Stevenson, Maj. W. B. Moore, Maj. Spear, and Capt. Laid ; Cor­ responding 8ecretaiy, Gen. Hickenlooper; Treasurer, Gen. Force. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 9, was chosen as the place and time of the next annual meeting, and Gen. M. M. Bane was elected orator.. . .All doubts are removed concerning the identity of the two 'traveling companions of Boi-s Tweed, who gave their names as " Hunt and "Sands" when the "old man" was ar­ rested at Vigo. The twain have arrived in New York, and they prove to be, what they were claimed to be at the time, Richard Tweed and Wiiliam King. WE learn from the New York papers that the steamer Colon, of the Pacific Mail Steamship line, in her last trip took out nearly a full cargo of Remington fire-arms, destined for various points in Central and South America. Included was a large consignment for Mexico, all the combatants there appearing to be desirous of supplying themselves. The number of weap­ ons of all sorts sent in that direction within the last few months only excites wonder M to what can be done with so many. THE whaling bark Florence has arrived a San Francisco from the Arctic ocean, with 190 men on board, being a part of the crews of the Arctic whaling fleet, twelve of which she re­ ports lost in the ice, with a portion of the crews. The remaining survivors have gone to Honolulu on the bark Three Brothers. The following is a list of the abandoned vessels: Barks Onward and Clara Bell, of San Fran­ cisco ; ships St. George and Marengo, and barks •Cornelius Howard, James Allen and Java, of New Bedford ; ship Camilla and bark- entine Josephine, of Boston ; bark Acers Barne, or New London, and Hawaiian barks Desmond and Arctic. The vessels had on board altogether about 1,000 barrels of oil besides a large amount of whalebone ani ivory. It is the undivided opinion of every master that no hope can be obtained of a rescue of the ships. Of those who remained on board, then, numbering between fifty and sixty, all are undoubtedly lost, and carried away to the northeast in the immense ice-pack which closed them in for miles around. IN the trial of Cotte, ex-cashier of the Jacques CartierBank, at Montreal, the evidence has developed an astonishing condition of J1 J8 Bkown that the accounts of the bank have been falsified and the re- turne to tbe Government misrepresented to the amount of $2,731,992. Thta enormous fraud was rendered easy of perpetration by the peculiar circumstances of the c.»e. Romauld Trudeau, President of the bank, is a man 70 years old and so blind that he could just manage to sign his name, but could not sse to read a line or a figure in the statements and accounto rendered to him by the cashier. The latter enjoved the entire confidence of the sightless old President, who signed whatever was brought to him. It'is no wonder that there waa a "'discrenancv" at nearly $3,000,000. THE breach of fraternal relations whioh has existed between the Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Church in the United States baa so far been healed that a large number of representatives of the denom­ ination North and South met the other day in Louisville to ratify the action of the Northern Conference at Biltimore, last summer, looking to reunion. The separation occurred at the National Conference at Louisville in 1844, and the thirty-two years of estrangement is now happily ended and all diffeiences recon­ ciled on the very spot where, through the baleful inriuences of the slave institution, the seeds of distrust and discord were sown. ... .The Ninth Annual Convention of the Bail- road Conductors' Life Association of the United States and Canada was huld at Detroit last week. The present number of members is 1,470; amount of benefits paid during the year ending Aug. 31 was $22,500. During the year ten passenger conductors and one freight died, and three freight conductors were killed. FOREIGN. A BELGHADB dispatch of Oct. 31 says: "Se­ rious fighting took place near Saitechar on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Turks are try­ ing to force their way to Paratchin, whence their march to Belgrade would only be inter­ rupted by weak fortifications at Chupria." A London telegram states that the British Cab­ inet, at its meeting on Oct. 20, "decided upon the policy of abstention, for the present at least, and in this policy they have the support of the press and the people. This removes from the consideration of the chances of the peace of Europe one of the elements which in Wednesday's panic was certainly reckoned upon to disturb it, in case Russia crossed the Danube." MANY officers of the English army have ap­ plied for permission to enter the Turkish ser­ vice If the wor^t oomes to the worst, and Russia obtains no co-operation in her move­ ments for the settlement of the Eastern ques tion, she will be prepared to play a pretty strong "lone hand." The concentration of ten army corps near the frontier has been or­ dered. A CALctrrrA dispatch to the London Times states that prospects for the crops in Bombay bccome daily more gloomy. The districts of Khandaisk, Nassick, Ahmendnuggor, Poonah, Sholapore, Kaladgi, and Dhurmal, containing a population of nearly 6.000,000, are threat­ ened with severe distress. The local Govern­ ment estimates that over 200,000 persons must be relieved in three districts alone A con­ spiracy has been discovered in Constantinople to assassinate the Grand Vizier and Midh&t Pasha. Several high officers connected with the Government have been implicated in ihe affair and sent oat of the country. A DISPATCH from Therapia announces that Baring, the Secretary of the British Legation is about to return from Phillippolis, convinced that the commission for the punishment of the perpetrators of the Bulgarian atrocities is a delusion and a mockery. The worst criminals are regarded humanely, and moderate men are in disgrace. The old panic is renewed, and a most trustworthy gentleman has traveled with the utmost haste to Constantinople, to inform the British Ambassador that the Turks threat­ en new massacres, and have even appointed a day for beginning the slaughter. A TELEOBAM from the Hague states that the Dutch Government has modified its project of coinage reform. It now proposes, pending an international settlement of the monetary sys­ tem, the maintenance of a gold and silver standard for Holland, and the .suspension of the coinage of silver.

Cooperation in tireat Britain. ™ The following remarks are from thg opening paragraphs of Charles Barnard's paper on "A Scottish Loaf Factory," in Scribner for November : Co-operation, in its more particular sense, refers to the combination or union of a number of people, eiilier to supply themselves with certain staple articles of consumption, or to manufacture some article that may be sold for their mutual benefit. When it has to do with selling coals, provisions, and other goods, it is called "distributive co-operation." The other kind of co operation, the union for work, is called "productive co-oper­ ation." The aim of both distributive and productive co-operation is primarily to benefit the co-operators in a financial sense ; but it must be noticed that the original aim of distributive co-operation was not so much to buy and sell teas and sugars at a profit as to get good teas and pure sugars. If the British shopman resents the advent and progress .of the co-operative movement; if he complains that it is stealing his trade, and bringing ruin to his door, he has himself mucn to blame. Distributive co-operation began as a natural protest against his sanded sugars and painted teas, his demoraliz­ ing " gratuities," and his ruinous system of credits. He had sought to win two profits; and the poor buyers, the flannel- weaver of Rochdale, and London post- office clerk, rose in rebellion, and bought their own teas. The city man tucked nis single chest under the back stairs of the General Fostoffice and doled out the tea " after-hours." The poor weavers of Toad lane made the place famous with their wheelbarrow-load of groceries. To­ day, the carriage of my lord of the army or navy drives up to a palace, and his lordship actually buys his own wines and cigars at the army and navy or civil service stores; and every mechanic, miner, and laborer in the kingdom knows the way to the nearest co-operative store in his town or village. The British shop­ man declaims loudly and bitterly against the co-operative store, and, at the same time, he adopts its healthy cash pay­ ments and sensible mothods of doing business. Distributive co-operation be­ gan that the house-mother might have pure tea, that the father might wear good shoes, and that the children might have sweet milk and bread. To-day, it accom­ plishes this and more. It seeks to elevate and educate; it opens reading-rooms and libraries, gives lectures in the arts and sciences ; it organizes excursions for children; it has its social conferences and its congresses, and, withal, it makes money. A CURIOUS registration difficulty has occurred at Carrickfergus, Ireland, wh?re there were forty-four McAlisters and thirty seven McAuleys on the lists, many being of the same Christian name. On arriving at the first of these names, during the revision of ^he register, the town clerk said that no mortal man could understand the McAlisters and the McAuleys. These name were allowed to remain undiwturl* d. OFFENDING boys in London are sen­ tenced by the magistrates to be whipped, but the parents are usually made the executioners. How He Waa Taken In and Cared For. A letter from an officer of the United States steamer Franklin, dated off the coast of Portugal, gives the details of the order received by the commander of that vessel from the Navy Department relative to Tweed. The letter says that the telegram requested the Consul to de­ tain any United States Government ves­ sel passing out of the straits until or­ ders could come from Washington. A few hours later a dispatch from the Sec­ retary of the-Navy ordered us to remain at Gibraltar for further orders. The next day came telegraphic orders from Washington to proceed to Vigo, com­ municate with the United States Minis­ ter, and receive Tweed on board, place him under strict guard, allow him no communication with the crew, and upon arrival at New York to allow no commu­ nication with the shore until instruc­ tions shall be Hceived from the Navy Department as to his final disposal. A postscript to the letter, dated "Vigo, Spain," has the following ad­ ditional : " We clirlibed the hill to the castle, but admittance was denied us, because the Government had given or­ ders to allow no communication with the isoner. The people generall X are op­ posed to giving the old sinner up, but the Government had no hesitation in taking him, upon the arrival of the bark from Cuba with the fugitives on board. The Governor of the province went on board and found the Boss in his shirt­ sleeves, barefooted, in the midst of scrubbing deck. The old Boss looks quite jolly, and has brass enough to last him 100 years. He will be confined to the cabin during the whole passage, and while in port an officer is always present with him." The Jews. It is curious, not to say amusing, to see how people resent the introduction of the Jewish element into George Eliot's last great story. That the Jews killed Christ is the principal thing that many excellent Christians remember about that extraordinary race. They forget that the race also gave btrth to Christ. That Christ should be killed by any people among whom he might ap­ pear was inevitable, and had to do with human nature at large. The exceptional and marvelous thing, speaking secularly, was his production. There can be no re­ ply to the tremendous retort of the Isra­ elite upon whom the Christian had spat --that half Christendom worship a Jew, and the other half a Jewess. Says Matthew Arnold : "As well imagine a mftn with a sense for sculpture not cul­ tivating it by the help of the remains of Greek art, or a man with a sense for poetry not cultivating it by the Help of Homer and Shakspeare, as a man with a sense for conduct not cultivating it by the help of the Bible!"

SACRAMENTO Record• Union: The pro­ prietor of one of the hotels of the city found it necessary, yesterday, to hire another dish-washer, there being more work than the Celestial employed could accomplish. One Chinaman who ap­ plied for the job was refused. He took How 4he Tnrka Panlab Christian Rebele In Bosnia. The Bev. Malcolm Maocoll, who ac­ companied Canon Liddon on his visit to Servia, in a letter te the London Times, dated Bulgaria. Sept. 21, relates the mode in which the Turks torture Chris­ tian subjects in Bosnia. He says : On my way to this place I traversed a considerable part of the frontier line which divides Bosnia from Austria. Along the route were several Turkish encampments. I was accompanied by Dr. Liddon, who would corroborate what I am now going to relate. At the first of the military stations we observed some shaiply-pointed stakqp, about twenty feet high. On inquiring what they were intended for, we were told that they were used for impaling the Christian insurgents of Bosnia. In tact, any Bosnian Christian found with arms in his hands was, and is now, exposed to this treatment. Do your readers un­ derstand what impaling means? The victim's hands and feet being fastened, he is raised aloft and dropped in a sit­ ting posture upon the pointed stake, which is thus driven through his body. There he is left to writhe in agony till death puts an end to his anguish, at the end of about two days. If his powers of endurance are good, he may linger for three days. But what evidence had Dr. Liddon and myself that those stakes were used for so fiendish a purpose ? That is a question which may be asked by those who began by denouncing the stories of the ijiuigarian atrocities as "coffee­ house babble" retailed "artistically" by newspaper correspondents, and then, when the truth could no longer be con­ cealed, protested that their fine sensi­ bilities were hurt by the recital of such " disgusting " horrors. I confess that I feel more sympathy for the impaled Christians of Bosnia than I do for the insufferable prigs who havei been ex horting us with " damnable iteration " to keep our minds in a state of philo­ sophical repose at the sight of human misery ; and, therefore, I do not scruple to give what your readers will, I think, accept as sufficient proof that the Turks, Lord Beaconsfield notwithstanding, are in the habit of " terminating their con­ nection" not merely "with culprits," but with those whose only crime is that they are Christians, by a mode of tor­ ture which is anything but "expedi­ tious." The officers of an Austrian steamer which passes up and down the Save twice a week assured Dr. Liddon and myself that thev often saw human beings writhing on these cruel stakes. And-we saw with our own eyes tbe ghastly confirmation of their story in the shape of a body thus impaled. Tiiis has been done, and is being done still, remember, not by wild Bashi- Bazouks, but by regular troops under command of well-educated Turkish officers--pleasant, smooth- topgued men with whom we came in contact, and whom I have heard belauded by delicate ladies in London drawing-rooms. These cruelties are perpetrated as part of a regular system, and it is "only when an outbreak occurs and some courageous newspaper correspondents ferret out a few of the works of darkness that we hear of them. The route by which Dr. Liddon and myself came hither is out of the beaten path, and has remained for the most part unvisited by tourists and correspondents. florrible Atrocities in China. The North China Daily News says : "We have news of further persecutions of the most savage character in Szechuen. On the 18th of July, in the town of Yuen-hin-chang, in the district of Lcui- kiang, placards hostile to Christians and Europeans were posted in various places in the market. About 9 o'clock on the morning of the 20th a line of four or five thousand armed men drew round the market to prevent Christians from escaping. They manufactured a large wooden cross, and tied on it successive­ ly all the Christians they could catch, and then cut them to pieces. Among the victims were two heathen, of whom one was the father of a convert, and the other a young girl of 15, whose brother was a Christian. Like the others, she was stripped of her clothes and cut to pieces. The number of persons killed was eight. The wounded are very nu­ merous. It is unnecessary to add that the houses of the Christians were pil­ laged and destroyed. About thirty other persons are missing. On the 22d the brutes went to the market of Pel- mow-chen, where they murdered four more Christians, but of this butchery we have no details. It is said that the principal chiefs of this band of assassins are emissaries from Kiang-peh, where the persecution first broke out, who are traversing the province in full sight and knowledge of the Mandarins, to excite troubles against the Christians and drive out Europeans, ana thus check any in­ clination on the part of foreigners to extend their trade with the interior of China." • , An Unlucky Experiment. The experiment of direct trade be­ tween the lake ports of the far West and European countries this season, we see, has been productive of but sorry re­ sults so far as the vessels themselves are concerned. Such of them as got safely over are now offered for sale, and several have already passed into foreign ownership at Bristol, Belfast, and other ports. These light-built lake crafts could scarcely expect to obtain return cargoes in view of the risks of an At­ lantic voyage and the extra marine pre­ miums, and, in * placing them on the market for sale, the owners probably did the best tiling that could be done under the circumstances.--New YorkJBulletin.

A few days ago, about dusk, a stranger called at the residence of a bank cashier in St. Louis, and, introducing himself, said he desired some private conversation on business of importance. I he cashier thereupon led him to a pri­ vate room, gave orders that they were j, . disturbed, seated himself, xolaed bis ears, and desired lii8 myste­ rious acquaintance to communicate the object of his visit The man coughed once or twice, then said : • x ?eing th,e oa»hier of this financial institution, of course you keep the key of the safe ?" * J The cashier said he did. "And you know about the bank rob­ bers that go around and tie and tnur ^hiera and their families, and ^th pistols at their heads compel them to give up the keys?" The cashier said he did. "And you've heard about the Daven- port brothers, aiid the Spiritualists and things?" The cashier said he had. " Now,"said the stranger, "I've been studying up the whole business, and I have found out how to overcome them." " You don't say so." "Yes, sir. For $5 I will impart to you a secret which may at some future time save your life and the funds en­ trusted to your care. I will show jou how to untie any series of knots, howev­ er complicated ; to remove a gag from your mouth ; and, in fact, to set yourself free. I can release myself in 2:41 J, and, With a week's practice , I'll bet that you can show better than three minutes. YJU see the advantage of my system ? There is no need to resist and get shot. Ail you have to do is to let them tie vou up, and, as soon as they have taken the key and gonefwhy, you just let yourself loose and give the alarm." The cashier said it was a remarkable invention. "Youbet it is," said the inventor, and, as I never take any money for it till my customers are satisfied of my honesty in dealing with them, I'll tell you what 111 do. Just let me gag and bind you, and then I'll give you the simple directions what to do, and if you don't unloose yourself in five minutes and express your entire satisfaction with the process, I'll give you $10. If you find that I'm a man of my word voull pay me $5." ' * The cashier said that nothing could be fairer. "Another thing," continued the via­ tor; "I'm a poor man, and this secret is my only stock in trade, so I'll ask you not to teach any one else hew to do it, for that would spoil my business." The cashier consented to the arrange­ ment. "Take this $10 bill," said the other. " If I fail, you keep it; if you are satis­ fied you will return it to me with another $5. And now this is how we do it." So saying he took a roll of cord and a gag from his pockets,and with great dexterity tied that cashier hand and foot, and gagged him so that he could not wink. " Now you are tied pretty firmly, ain't you? You wouldn't think you could ever get loose, would you?" The cashier looked the replies he could not speak. I don't think you could myself," said the inventor; " and now let me tell you my name is Jesse H. James, the notorious train robber, and if you don't fork over that key in three seconds I'll cut your throat from ear to ear. I beg your pardon; you can't, but I'll take it myself. It's no trouble," and turning that cashier over on his back like a tur­ tle he took the key. " I won't take your pocket-book," he said, "for the $10 is yours, as I don't think you will be able to get loose in five minutes, or five hours either. So long, sonny," and with a cour­ teous bow he quitted the apartment and proceeded to the bans, which he rifled as completely and leisurely as if he had been one of the directors.
